In 2007, the year of David Bowieis 60th birthday, it seems fitting to take a look at some of the fellow artists his music has touched - enough for them to record their own interpretations! From "All The Young Dudes" to "Ziggy Stardust," this exclusive digital bundle provides an A-Z of amazing artists covering amazing tracks.

Bowie is a legend, as this exclusive quote from Boy George, whose Culture Club cover of "Starman" features on the bundle, explains...

It was the beginning of an obsession that has lasted since I begged my father to buy me tickets to see "Ziggy & The Spiders From Mars" at Lewisham Odeon. I was just Eleven and after that gig, I floated home by foot in my sad embroidered matadors jacket and my pathetic attempt at a Ziggy haircut, that was more Dave Hill than Bowie, singing his songs into a empty tin can. I have, remained a loyal fan since and will continue to be one because Bowie is the commander and I'm just a space cadet. I could go on and on but in simple terms, David Bowie is a genius and a living legend.

As well as covers from artists as diverse as Skids, Duran Duran and The Dandy Warhols, this exclusive bundle also includes the rare Peter Noone track "Right On Mother." Although never released by Bowie himself, this was demoed at the same time as "Oh You Pretty Things" and is done great justice here by Peter Noone - a brilliant addition to round off an eclectic tracklist!
